Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees along the gentle waters of Lee Brook, this thoughtfully updated retreat offers an intentional way of living-where mornings begin with coffee on the deck to the sound of a babbling brook and weekends are spent kayaking, fishing, or exploring the interconnected waterways of Lake Zoar, Lake Lillinonah, the Pomperaug and Housatonic Rivers. Whether you're searching for a peaceful weekend escape, a low-maintenance full-time residence, an inspiring artist's retreat, or a smart investment opportunity, this home embraces the beauty of living simply. Inside, it has been designed to feel warm, bright, and functional, with skylights that fill the space with natural light, updated luxury vinyl flooring, a cottage-style kitchen, and a recently renovated bathroom. Outside, a cozy detached shed offers flexibility as a workshop, creative office or studio. The wraparound deck, concrete patio, and stone walls become an extension of your living space, immersed in the sights and sounds of nature. Recent improvements include: roof (2018-2025), water heater (2018), furnace (2025), deck/staircase/stone walls, and updated bathroom allow you to spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying everything this unique setting has to offer. Just 0.5mi to the Lake Zoar boat launch, close to Kettletown State Park, hiking trails, and only minutes to Main Street and major commuting routes.
